oh yeah almost forgot the rev
"eat steak eat steak eat a big ol steer
eat steak eat steak do we have some here?
eat beef eat beef it's a mighty good food
a grade a meal when I'm in the mooooooooood."
Rev Horton Heath

My fav bar song...
I really do appreciate the fact youre sittin here
Your voice sounds so wonderful
But yer face dont look too clear
So bar maid bring a pitcher, another round o brew
Honey, why dont we get drunk and screw

Chorus:
Why dont we get drunk and screw
I just bought a water bed, its filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen
Honey I dont think thats true
So, why dont we get drunk and screw

-- spoken: pick it coral reefers, here we go...

(swing instrumental)

Chorus:
Why dont we get drunk and screw
I just bought a waterbed its filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen
Honey I dont think thats true
So why dont we get drunk and screw
Yeah, now baby I say, (lord!)
Why dont we get drunk and screw

One of my fav man hating songs :
I hate the world today
You're so good to me
I know but I can't change
tried to tell you but you look at me like maybe I'm an angel
underneath
innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried
You must have been relieved to see the softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
all rolled into one

Chorus:
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your health, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way

So take me as I am
This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous
and I'm going to extremes
tomorrow I will change
and today won't mean a thing

Chorus

Just when you think you've got me figured out
the season's already changing
I think it's cool you do what you do
and don't try to save me

Chorus

I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
when you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numbed, I'm revived
can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way

just a suggestion... attribute lyrics to performers... or the thread may get taken away.
never heard the buffet line "ok coral reefers"
hilarious. has personal significance(coral reefer here).

10-4! Got a little carried away on those. LOL!
Yes the above Why don't we get drunk performed, probably written by Jimmy Buffett and my man hating song, performed by none other than Meredith Brooks.
We certainly want to give credit where credit is due as well.
Just got carried away with posts.

just so ya know... you can edit old posts(thought you might like to know)

This song shares album space with another song in this string...

I think some people would still get pissed off about them today:

WITH GOD ON OUR SIDE

My name it is nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I was taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And that land that I live in
Has God on its side.

The history books tell it
They tell it so well
The cavalries charged
The Indians fell
The cavalries charged
The Indians died
Oh the country was young
With God on its side.

The Spanish-American
War had its day
And the Civil War too
Was soon laid away
And the names of the heroes
I was made to memorize
With guns in their hands
And God on their side.

The First World War, boys
It closed out its fate
The reason for fighting
I never got straight
But I learned to accept it
Accept it with pride
For you don't count the dead
When God's on your side.

When the Second World War
Came to an end
We forgave the Germans
And we were friends
Though they murdered six million
In the ovens they fried
The Germans now too
Have God on their side.

I've learned to hate Russians
All through my whole life
If another war starts
It's them we must fight
To hate them and fear them
To run and to hide
And accept it all bravely
With God on my side.

But now we got weapons
Of chemical dust
If fire them we're forced to
Then fire them we must
One push of the button
And a shot the world wide
And you never ask questions
When God's on your side.

In many a dark hour
I've been thinkin' about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
But I can't think for you
You'll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side.

So now as I'm leavin'
I'm weary as Hell
The confusion I'm feelin'
Ain't no tongue can tell
The words fill my head
And fall to the floor
If God's on our side
He'll stop the next war.

- Bob Dylan

In her white lace, you could clearly see the lady sadly looking.
Saying that shed take the blame
For the crucifixion of her own domain. I get up,
I get down,
I get up,
I get down.

Two million people barely satisfy.
Two hundred women watch one woman cry, too late.
The eyes of honesty can achieve.
How many millions do we deceive each day?
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.

In charge of who is there in charge of me.
Do I look on blindly and say I see the way?
The truth is written all along the page.
How old will I be before I come of age for you?
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.
--Jon Anderson

I guess I tried to show you how
I'd take the crowd with my guitar
And business men would clap their hands
And clip another fat cigar
And publishers would spread the news
And print my music far and wide
And all the kids who played the blues
Would learn my licks with a bottle neck slide

But now it seems the bubble's burst
Although you know there was a time
When love songs gathered in my head
With poetry in every line
And strong men strove to hold the doors
While with my friends I passed the age
When people stomped on dirty floors
Before I trod the rock'n'roll stage

I'll thank the man who's on the 'phone
And if he has the time to spend
The problem I'll explain once more
And indicate a sum to lend
That ten percent is now a joke
Maybe thirty, even thirty-five
I'll say my daddy's had a stroke
He'd have one now, if he only was alive

I like the way you look at me
You're laughing too down there inside
I took my chance and you took yours
You crewed my ship, we missed the tide
I like the way the music goes
There's a few good guys who can play it right
I like the way it moves my toes
Just say when you want to go and dance all night...

--Fripp/Wetton/Palmer-James

MrMikeV, I did not know that, so I will make a note of it.
Thanks again.
It is very interesting to see what people have posted on here.

That is the coolist avatar Lucky!!!!!

The whole of the Amused to Death album by Roger Waters. The following are just the lyrics from the last track:-
WE WATCHED THE TRAGEDY UNFOLD
WE DID AS WE WERE TOLD
WE BOUGHT AND SOLD
IT WAS THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH
BUT THEN IT WAS OVER
WE OOHED AND AAHED
WE DROVE OUR RACING CARS
WE ATE OUR LAST FEW JARS OF CAVIAR
AND SOMEWHERE OUT THERE IN THE STARS
A KEEN EYED LOOK-OUT
SPIED A FLICKERING LIGHT
OUR LAST HURRAH
AND WHEN THEY FOUND OUR SHADOWS
GROUPED AROUND THE TV SETS
THEY RAN DOWN EVERY LEAD
THEY REPEATED EVERY TEST
THEY CHECKED OUT ALL THE DATA ON THEIR LISTS
AND THEN THE ALIEN ANTHROPOLOGISTS
ADMITED THEY WERE STILL PERPLEXED
BUT ON ELIMINATING EVERY OTHER REASON
FOR OUR SAD DEMISE
THEY LOGGED THE ONLY EXPLINATION LEFT
THIS SPECIES HAS AMUSED ITSELF TO DEATH
NO TEARS TO CRY
NO FEELINGS LEFT
THIS SPECIES HAS AMUSED ITSELF TO DEATH
AMUSED ITSELF TO DEATH
